I actually think it will be the people's fault, not Kerry's. Specifically, my generation for not giving a shit about voting and our parents for placing their interests before their grandchildrens'.
I think those who keep voting on (to me) trivial (in terms of being outside the pervue of government) issues regarding homosexual marriages and abortion, but won't take action when it comes to economic and foreign policy issues are the ones that are driving this ship in the ground.
But I won't run to Canada to pout (too cold). I might go to Australia. I hope you don't see that as pouting, there isn't much more to be done here. You can step up your activism, I'm going to start paying into a retirement system that is actually going to be solvent when my time comes. How old will you be in 15 years (the newest projected date of SS insolvency)?
